Travelers to the U.S. must pay a new $250 'visa integrity fee' – what to know

news.ycombinator.com Monica Pitrelli 2026-02-26 23:50:47

Visitors to the United States will need to pay a "visa integrity fee," according to a provision of the Trump administration's recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The fee applies to all visitors who need nonimmigrant visas to enter, and cannot be waived. However travelers may also be able to get the fees reimbursed, according to the provision. Details about the new requirement are scant, which has resulted in "significant challenges and unanswered questions regarding implementation,"

Row Polymorphic Programming

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-22 10:50:31

Sometimes, especially when dealing with business logic, we have to deal with data that comes in from the real world, or elsewhere, naturally very messily typed, leading to nasty type signatures and messes of macros or code generation to build data structures from a schema. Row polymorphism can help us by abstracting over the fields contained in a record type in the type signature, letting us define records based on data, concatenate records together, and define functions that are generic across

What’s on offer at a luxury Bay Area longevity clinic

Human Longevity, a medical clinic in South San Francisco’s biotech corridor, feels more like a spa than a doctor’s office. The floors of the 8,000-square-foot space are sleek and white, the walls bamboo with moss accents. Visitors are referred to as clients, not patients, as they are ushered into private rooms equipped with Wi-Fi, snacks, full bathrooms with showers, and cameras for Zoom meetings — a feature meant to accommodate executives who fly in for the day for multi-hour batteries of test

Embrace the Grind: 15 Years of Building Jefit The Start of Something I Didn't Expect to Last 15 Years Fifteen years ago, Jefit wasn't a company. It wasn't even a business idea. It was just a project I started in my dad's living room in North Carolina, fresh out of college, working from my own laptop.

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Exec Producer Confirms Identity of Rhys Darby’s Character

It’s very common for TV cast and crew to do spoiler-y interviews that run after a certain episode airs to address standout moments. Andor did it after Bix’s big shocker; The Last of Us did it after Joel’s big shocker; the Severance gang did it pretty much weekly throughout season two’s many big shockers.

Nothing’s Headphone 1 Copied the AirPods Max’s Dumbest Accessory, and Now I Actually Need One

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-02-27 00:37:42

Apple’s AirPods Max are iconic for lots of reasons. Firstly, it’s Apple, so they have just a teensy bit of name-brand recognition. Secondly, there’s the sound—Apple’s over-ear headphones might look a little boring, but they sound consistently great. Good enough to actually make a $550 price tag work. There’s also a third iconic aspect, though this one may be notable for the wrong reasons. If you guessed the “iBra” carrying case, congratulations, you win a free ticket to tech nerd jail. As iconi

And indeed, among the boxes was a glossy handout of a slightly younger-looking Zooey, standing with a man who did vaguely resemble her current husband, Jonathan Scott, of Property Brothers fame.

Nintendo’s slow drip of Switch 2 games is a feature, not a bug

theverge.com Charles Pulliam-Moore 2026-02-27 00:05:00

When Nintendo first announced the Switch 2’s slate of launch titles, people were very quick to cry foul about how few original, exclusive games the company had lined up for its latest console. There were ports from other systems and updated versions of original Switch games. But Mario Kart World was the Switch 2’s only major new exclusive title, which, for some, put a further damper on a launch that was already mired in confusion about pricing and game key cards.

In the early days of large language models, there was a high barrier to entry: it used to be impossible to run anything useful on your own computer without investing in pricey GPUs. But researchers have had so much success in shrinking down and speeding up models that anyone with a laptop, or even a smartphone, can now get in on the action.
